Chapter 668: Build More Settlements, Don’t Be Polite (1/2)

[Dear Administrator, when you read this email, our Niu Ma cargo airship has arrived over the Baiyue Strait and established our first airship here on the north bank of the outlet to the southern sea. base area. 】

[To be honest, the situation here is more complicated than we imagined. All traces of civilization have been washed away by the sea water. The nearest survivor settlement is on an island more than a hundred nautical miles away from us. This means that Since we cannot get empirical help from local survivors, we have to rely on ourselves. 】

[More than that, the suitable climate allows the mutated creatures here to evolve at an incredible speed, and the rainforest is filled with alien species we have never seen before. On the first day here, we encountered a lizard bigger than a crocodile, a crocodile as big as a dinosaur, a giant python that could swallow a two-headed cow, as well as baby-sized bats and half-human-tall scorpions and rats. ...even human-eating plants! 】

[Of course, the most incredible thing for us is that we found wild ‘Naguo’ locally. Not surprisingly, it may be the most original strain! What is puzzling is that our enemies did not transplant the improved nachotoxin into this area and turned this place into a hotbed for the reproduction of nachotoxin bacteria. We can't help but wonder whether this is because there is something in it. An ulterior secret. Regardless, we sampled the strain and it will be sent to Dawn City on the latest return flight. 】

[Getting back to the subject, a series of troubles caused a lot of casualties to our exploration team who went deep into the jungle to find water sources. Fortunately, we only lost twenty-two lives and found out the area within a ten-kilometer radius near the landing point. , and a relatively safe open space was cleared on the shore. 】

[Next we plan to wall off the camp, remove the rainforest near us, and replace our tents with something like this. For this we need a lot of building materials, more transport airships and the help of jungle corps. It would be great if you were willing to provide some help for the alliance's future ports. Our strength is too thin and it will take a long, long time to complete the work by relying on our own strength. 】

[In addition, following your teachings, we have initiated peaceful contacts with nearby survivor settlements and avoided direct military conflicts as much as possible. Thanks to the help of the crew of the Meat, the governor of the round island expressed his willingness to start trade with us, and if we can solve the fresh water problem, they agreed to help us produce some tools we need. 】

[I think this is a good breakthrough. If we can prove that our method is more effective than the Torch method, maybe we can unite some islands to join our camp, thus weakening the influence of the Torch Church in the southern seas. We even completely won over the local survivors onto our tanks and formed an encirclement against the Torch Church from the south! 】

[We will eventually have a battle with the Torch Church, and I can feel that the final battle is not far away. I believe you must think so too, and have been preparing for that day. I am extremely certain that the outcome of that decisive battle will be related to our future and the future of our civilization! 】

[To this end, we again implore you to give us more help. In addition to resource and manpower support, we also need professional biologists to help us solve the troubles we encounter on this land. Trust us, you won't be disappointed with this investment! 】

【——Your most loyal subordinate has a long future ahead】

good.

Out of business.

Looking at the mail - or pie - on the holographic screen, Chu Guang couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face.

He has always used his identity as a dog planner to quarrel with the players.

Now, his little players have finally learned the skills he is best at, and are starting to give him a thumbs up as the league's manager.

This email was written by Brother Fang after he went offline, and was sent to him through the mission system on the official website of "Wasteland OL".

But I have to say, this cake is quite tempting.

If his little players can really unite the survivors in the southern seas and remove the influence of the Torch Church from the southern seas, the alliance can form a siege on the Torch Church from the north and south, blocking all escape routes for this cockroach.

At least, it can prevent them from escaping south and sneaking to other places in the wasteland to continue causing trouble...

After reading the email twice, Chu Guang tapped his index finger lightly on the table, thought for a long time and then spoke.

"Xiao Qi."

"Here you are, Master." Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, raised her right hand high and looked at him with an expectant expression.

Looking at the energetic look, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile, stretched out his index finger and gently rubbed the top of its head and said.

"Edit a reply for me and I'll read it to you."

After saying that, Chu Guang leaned back on the sofa, stared at the ceiling of the browsing room, thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I am very pleased to see your growth. You have learned how to take the initiative to strengthen our power and how to spread the light of order to more distant places...and this is earlier than I imagined. You let me see The hope of realizing one’s ideals in one’s lifetime.”

"I will give you all the necessary support. The Jungle Corps will immediately transfer and deploy to Baiyue Province by airship. At the same time, a research team composed of biological experts will go to the settlement when the situation is suitable. ”

"You need to ensure that the local area has a stable supply of electricity, fresh water, food and basic living supplies, and to achieve a balance of income and expenditure. Not only that, you also need to help local survivors establish order and guide them to spontaneously participate in our cause instead of opening its mouth to wait for your feeding or offerings.”

"This is not an easy task, but I believe that with so much ready-made experience to refer to, you will be able to complete this arduous and glorious task."

"Finally, give this future pearl of the sea a name. It will follow us to the new era, so please take more time to think about it!"

At the same time that Chu Guang finished reading, Xiao Qi also completed editing the email and automatically helped him polish it.

"Do you want to send it now?"

Looking at Xiao Qi who asked him, Chu Guang thought for a while and said.

"Send it now. In addition, edit a mission for me later and send it to the Jungle Corps and Burning Corps so that they can deploy to the Baiyue Strait."

"We need to build a local military base with airport facilities to support the construction of local survivor settlements and ensure the safety of the settlements when necessary. After the military base is completed, we will transfer a few reliable officers from the staff there. When NPC issues tasks, it is more appropriate for us to issue tasks based on the corps.”

After fully memorizing Chu Guang's instructions, Xiao Qi nodded seriously.

"receive!"

…

Southern waters, North Island, Presidential Palace.

A man of about thirty years old stood by the wall hanging a chart of the southern seas, staring intently at the thirteen islands and the markers of different colors on the chart.

He was tall, wearing an old-style Air Force uniform, his eyebrows were twisted into a gray line, and his two gray eyes were bright.

His name is Mongo, the first president of the Federation of the Southern Islands and the supreme commander of the Federation Navy.

Standing behind him at this moment is Charas, the director of the president's office and chief of staff of the federal navy, and also his most trusted aide.

The Federation of the Southern Islands has only been established for two months, and its organizational structure is still very crude. The formation of the cabinet has just been completed, and the parliament is still in preparation. Although they initially planned to establish an independent naval command structure, the war with Vault 70 did not wait for anyone.

Therefore, the federal navy is currently under the direct command of the Presidential Palace, and most people in the Presidential Palace also hold naval positions.

Looking at the expressionless president, Charas reported the report with a serious expression.

"...The submarines in Shelter 70 are still continuing to attack our ships. Yesterday, another cargo ship was sunk two hundred nautical miles east of the North Island. All fifteen crew members on board were killed. After we received the distress signal Warships were immediately dispatched to search nearby waters, but unfortunately the attackers had already escaped by the time we arrived.”

Meng Ge did not speak, but stared intently at the red circle in the upper right corner of the chart and the small number fifteen next to the red circle.

That cargo ship was different from other cargo ships. It did not carry too much cargo, only some daily necessities and tools for setting up a camp.

In addition to the eight sailors on board, there are also five experts in geological exploration and biological fields, and two soldiers responsible for their safety.

Their original plan was to go to the northwest border of Haiya Province, beach the cargo ship on the shore, and find a suitable area to establish a research station in the unoccupied coastal mountainous area.

The reason for doing this is to search for fresh water and minerals on the land and prepare for the establishment of land settlements in the Southern Islands Federation. On the other hand, it is to examine the actual situation in Haiya Province to see what the "Kingdom of Heaven" there is like and whether it is really as beautiful as the Torch Church says.

After all, some things cannot be understood at a glance, and their true appearance can only be revealed through long-term contact.

Mongo did not fully believe in the Torch Church and the "Kingdom of Heaven" he described, even though he had gone to the shore before and seen with his own eyes that land where people and nature live in harmony.

Rather than letting the Torch Church unilaterally export its experience in controlling mutant slime molds and alien species to them, he hopes to send some experts to Haiya Province for on-the-spot investigation.

Even on the outskirts of heaven.

In this way, the Federation of the Southern Islands can take the initiative in introducing technology and avoid being completely led by the other party.

However, someone seems to be preventing them from doing this.

This is the third cargo ship to be sunk.

Although judging from various clues, those three attacks were the work of Vault 70, Meng Ge still couldn't help but have a suspicion in his heart.

He is very familiar with the residents of Vault 70.

The biggest characteristic of those men, like other blue coats, is confidence - or a arrogance that borders on arrogance.

This conceit stems from their memories of the era and the knowledge, experience and methods they inherited from that era. Although this makes them seem a little incompatible with the Wasteland Era, they have no doubt that they are the most correct.

In other words, they are more dismissive than fearful of the Torch Church's plan.

Even if they can't come up with a better solution, they are 100% confident that the Torch Church's method will definitely not work.

Therefore, Vault 70 does not object to the contact between the survivors in the southern sea and the people of the Torch Church. In the past twenty years, the survivor settlements in the southern sea have never closed their ports to people from the north.

It has nothing to do with pure right or wrong. A guy who is extremely confident will not care about the nonsense of people who go against him.

Because to that guy, it was just the gibberish of a lunatic on his deathbed.

If attacking the cargo ship of the Federation of Southern Islands is a reasonable method during war, the reason for attacking the research ship seems a bit far-fetched.

They should hope that the survivors in the southern seas can see the faces of those guys as soon as possible, so why do they prevent the research ship of the Southern Islands Federation from going to Haiya Province to get a deeper understanding of the situation?

Three consecutive sinkings occurred when the cargo ships clearly deviated from the trade route.

It would be too far-fetched to say this was an accident.

"...It seems they are planning to carry this war to the end."

Seeing President Mongo, who was silent, suddenly speaking, Charas, who was standing not far behind him, quickly echoed.

"Indeed, the scope of their attacks is getting larger and larger, and they have reached the point of being indiscriminate. We must be prepared to fight them for a long time."

Mengge withdrew his gaze from the map, turned to look at his staff and asked.

"Do you have any good opinions?"

Charas cleared his throat and spoke carefully.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to win this war with our strength alone... Their submarines are elusive. If they are allowed to continue to be used up like this, in another two months we will have no ships available except warships. And they are in the shelter. We can stay here forever and there is no huge population burden. The longer this war drags on, the worse it will be for us. "

When he said this, Charas changed the subject and continued.

"Just recently, news came from the Torch Church that they are willing to take over the underwater settlement near Shelter 70 and set up a safe zone in the nearby waters... We might as well entrust Coral City to their management. In this way, nearby The safety of ocean current power stations, submarine transmission cables, seawater desalination devices and other facilities has also been guaranteed.”

"If we can ensure the supply of power and fresh water, the federal islands will have more confidence in our war with Vault 70."

Coral City is the fourteenth settlement in the Commonwealth of the Southern Islands and the only underwater settlement directly under the jurisdiction of Vault 70.

The local resident population is about 30,000. It is located next to the entrance and exit of Shelter 70 and only five kilometers away from the ruins of the Tianting space station.

That settlement is home to the residents of Vault 70 and some experts trained by the residents of the Vault. They are mainly responsible for the development of marine resources and the research of the mother nest of the Tianting space station.

Prior to the establishment of the Federation of the Southern Islands, most offshore facilities in the Southern Seas were operated by experts from Coral City.

After the war broke out, Vault 70 completely broke with the survivors outside the shelter, including the survivors of Coral City.

In order to punish the so-called traitors, the blue jackets of Vault 70 brutally blew up the nearby Ocean Current Power Station and cut off the power supply and oxygen supply system of Coral City, almost burying the 30,000 survivors at the bottom of the sea.

Fortunately, the Federation of the Southern Islands provided timely support, restarted the entrance and exit facilities of Coral City, and transferred the survivors of Coral City to several islands such as North Island, Bawe Island, and Anle Island in the northern part of the Federation before the oxygen was exhausted.

Coral City is the closest settlement to the Mother Nest, and there are a large number of ready-made scientific research facilities and research materials that can be used.

Mongo was not surprised at all that the Torch Church wanted to take over the abandoned Coral City settlement, and it was even completely expected.

They've been eyeing that place for a while, and this isn't something that just happened recently.

They had proposed a long time ago that they hoped to enter the Coral City settlement and cooperate with Vault 70 to study the mother nest of the Tianting Space Station, but they were rejected at the time.

However, those people's demands were so direct that Meng Ge could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Charas said respectfully.

"They may not have good intentions, but I think we can consider it. After all, you know that the settlement is currently in an abandoned state without maintenance. If there is a leak or other accident over time, I am afraid it will not be habitable in the future. "

"If the Torch is willing to take over that settlement, our defense pressure at sea will also be reduced a lot. If the submarine in Vault 70 attacks the facilities promised to be protected by the Torch Church, it will undoubtedly be tantamount to declaring war on the church... regardless of whether they have If you have the guts to do that, it will be of no harm to us.”

Meng Ge said expressionlessly.

"We will resolve the conflict between us and Vault 70 ourselves, and they won't have to worry about Coral City."

Seeing that His Excellency the President had no intention of relenting, Charas, who still wanted to say something, had no choice but to give up the persuasion and nodded.

"Following your arrangement, I am just providing you with a feasible option... Of course, I still recommend that you reconsider my suggestion."

"Let's talk about it, I'll think about it."

Mengge withdrew his gaze from the staff member, looked at the chart hanging on the wall again, and continued.

"Anything else to report?"

Charas nodded quickly and said.

"some."

Meng Ge: "Say."

Charas said immediately.

"The Alliance's airship arrived at the eastern outlet of the Baiyue Strait to our southwest and established a base there."

alliance……

Meng Ge's eyes narrowed slightly.

He'd heard of those guys.

The power that seems to be rising in the southern part of the River Valley Province is more than 2,000 kilometers away. Only a few merchants from Silver Moon Bay have been there, and the rumors about that place are so varied that it's hard to tell the truth from the lies.

"What do they want to do?"

Charas hesitated for a moment and said.

"It's unclear at the moment. The governor of the ring island reported to us that those people seem to be planning to build a settlement in the Baiyue Strait... There are about three hundred people there at the moment, but this is the number from yesterday. How many are left today is unknown. clear."

Hearing this interesting statement, Meng Ge couldn't help but laugh out loud. He put his right fist to his lips and coughed dryly.

Charas also smiled and continued.

"They have no hostile behavior for the time being, but I feel that their motives for coming here are not simple... This morning, they asked the Governor's Palace on the roundabout to send us a telegram."

Mongo held out his hand.

"show me."

Charas nodded, quickly took out the telegraph newspaper from the folder under his elbow, and presented it respectfully.

Meng Ge reached out and took the paper and glanced at it roughly.

The content of the telegram was very short, so short that the entire meaning could be summarized in two sentences. One was to extend cordial and friendly greetings to the neighbors, and the other was to declare the alliance's ownership of that area.

Meng Ge didn't care much about these two sentences, and even found them interesting.

More than a month ago, he proposed to the Torch Church that he hoped they would establish a "cooperation pilot" on the east coast of Baiyue Province. After all, the climate conditions there are actually similar to those in the southern sea.

However, the latter rejected their proposal because of the complicated situation in Baiyue Province, and insisted on conducting research on islands or submarine settlements in the southern seas.

Obviously not only Vault 70, but also the Torch Church has no way to take over that land for the time being. Meng Ge doesn't think those guys who are more than two thousand kilometers apart can have any better ideas.

Especially when he saw the signature on the last line of the telegram, he couldn't help laughing for the second time.

"…French Port."

What bird name.

Are these guys serious?

Charas also smiled in cooperation and said teasingly.

"Sounds like a joke."

"Whether it's a joke or not, it would be more appropriate for us to respond formally."

Mengge, who was holding the telegram, thought for two seconds, threw it back into Chalas' hand, cleared his throat and continued.

"Send them a telegram and say... I wish you a happy time in the woods. If you don't mind, I hope you can build more settlements in Baiyue Province. Don't be polite."

"When you go back, remember to say hello to your manager for me."
